About Me

I'm an oldschool geek who didn't consider technology as a career choice at first. I pursued Philosophy in school instead, pursued a career in the automotive industry after, then wanted to become an entrepreneur and own my own business most recently. But I always kept my love for and skills in technology in my back pocket, which helped me excel in every area of my life.

After trying my hand at multiple small business ventures, I decided to finally make technology my career. Now I'm a Web Developer, capable in HTML, CSS, Javascript, and a little bit of PHP and Python, and ready for duty!
